The peak of their careers? They fought in 1993, before either fighter had any big fights. Peak of Jones career was '95-'03. Hopkins career started to peak in '01 with the win over Trinidad. Neither were in their peak in 1993.

I'd love to see that. The old Hopkins vs the new Hopkins.

My take on Hopkins though ... at this stage in his career, is that it's going to take a lot of moolah to get him to fight he knows he could easily lose. Like the Calzaghe fight. I think he knew all along he'd beat Pavlik. And it was a big pay day. Don't know if Dawson brings in that kind of scratch to the table. But HBO may be willing to overpay, desperate to make something of all the $$$ they've pissed away on Bad Chad.
